World's Best Banana Bread.

I thought I'd make the inaugural recipe in Veronica's Test Kitchen the only one I have never been able to improve on. I have been using this for over 20 years now and it never fails to impress - I can't recall how many times I have given this recipe away. Nevertheless, I can not resist trying to modify, so if you use wholemeal flour it does give it another dimension...

World's Best Banana Bread

125g unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 egg
3 ripe banana's, mashed
2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon bi-carb soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Pre-heat a moderate oven (160 degrees if fan-forced)
2. Cream butter and sugar, then beat in the egg
3. Add bananas and mix well
4. Sift dry ingredients and stir into the mixture
5. Pour into a greased loaf tin
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes
7. Test with a skewer to see if it is cooked then gently remove from the tin while still warm and let cool on a wire rack

The source for this recipe is unfortunately long gone - but if you know where it came from, let me know as I am happy to give credit!
